Re-painting tang markings

I have a nice Henkels that has a simple design on the tang--might be their logo, but I can't remember.

Anyway, the design is etched or stamped into the metal, and the lines are colors with some kind of red paint.

Thinking I could repaint it, I grabbed some red enamel and a brush at the hobby store.

Any suggestions for how I might go at this? I'm thinking that I just paint over the area, wipe off the excess, then let it dry and polish off any enamel left on the surface.

Would that work, or am I going to have to repaint the lines and hope I don't get any on the rest of the metal?

Thanks,
Josh

you should be able to remove the excess paint with very fine wet and dry without any problems
Kind regards peter
